Dead pixel

[chrismartel0817]

I was using my tab in the dark and I noticed a dead pixel. The problem it's you can only se it in the dark and on a dark screen.should I swap it out?

I probably wouldn't but I'm kinda lazy like that. Sucky none the less.

If I were you - Yes! I would. I don't want any issues developing later on.

Good luck.

Yeah I am worried about it possibly getting worse. I actually noticed two. They arent that bad. I only notice them if its extremely dark and the screen is a dark color.

Well do screen test then turn your blacklight highest and check it solid background then you can see how many is dead. I myself had single dead pixle on my old HD2 lol it use to bug me I never did see it during regular usage but I know where it was located so it bugged me.

Now I am not aware of the Samsungs policies regarding dead pixels but from what I know if you want to send it just for that issue HTC requires at least 4 dead pixels on the screen before they will honor the warranty. If its not that old take it back where you got it from and explain to them they will hopefully swap it.

Thanks for the info. I am still within my Best Buy return policy so I might just swap it out. during 95% of my use I dont see it. But I fired up psx4droid the other night in a dark room and there it was staring me in the face.
